Thanksgiving

Couldn't have asked for nicer weather--kids played outside a lot while we were at Aunt Marilyn's for Thanksgiving.

 Drove up to the top of Mt. Diablo for a picnic.

 Three kids on the tippy-top of Mt Diablo.  They have the summit inclosed and in a room with a monument

Amber's favorite thing is a bath.  If she is upstairs she will crawl to the tub, pull herself to a stand and squeal with delight hoping you will put her in.  We can't give anyone a bath without Amber joining in the fun.

 At Lake Des Valles

 Another picnic

 Pelicans

 Within minutes of getting to the Lake Brett was up to his waste in mud.  Thankfully it was a warm day and we could just let him roam in his diaper . . .

 Brett kept asking if he could vacuum.  I let him thinking he would try for a minute and get tired and stop.  He vacuumed and vacuumed.  I had to persuade him that he was finished.
